Could well be. But the way she formulated it, it's a common occurence.... This might be a more critical situation to get out of her sight...

But now I'm wondering how long it'll take for the next update. According to the WIP thread in their forum, this page was already largely done and coloured in 2011, when Arioch posted the first images of this page. [edit] I misread the joining date as post creating date. I really should doublecheck such things before spreading rumours[/edit]I wonder if the pencilling of the next pages has even been started...

Ah well, it's not like I spent money to be allowed to read. Patience is a good virtue for online comics readers.

Likely Alex is afraid that the simple thought of Humaniti trying to contact the Umiak too might cause the Loroi to reconsider seeing him as an ambassador.

I would mention it too, as it could be expected that the Loroi assume the Humaniti, if on a mission to seek information on whom to ally with preferably, would also try to collect information on both sides, likely by trying to contact the other side too. That would step up teh game for the Loroi to actually get there ASAP.
